The selected item should appear with "handles" on either end (if it is a line) or on all four corners (other log body items).

 

Select multiple items in the log body

  1. Click on the pointer button on the toolbar:
  2. Use your mouse to position the pointer on an item and click the left button once.
  3. Then, hold the Ctrl key down while you select another item. You may continue in this manner to select multiple items.

    All selected items will appear with "handles" on their corners.

    OR

  1. Use the screen pointer to "draw" a rectangular region across the log body area. Any items in whole or in part within that bounding rectangle will appear selected (with "handles").

 

Select all of the items in the log body

  1. Use your mouse to click in the log body pane of the design window.
  2. Choose the Edit | Select All in Active Designer option.

    The program will select all of the items in the pane.

  2. Scroll through the list as necessary to locate the item by name, type, or location, and left-click once to select it. When selected, it will appear highlighted in the list, and it will also be highlighted in the design pane.
